    2015 SoCal Fall Rally

    Saw this on GSA, this is what you guys need for your rallies, shame it's in SD. It's a MKT85 kitchen trailer. http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/aucitsrh/?sl=81QSCI16007053

    GL Auctions out of Deleware

    The last thing I saw was on GSA but it was for a plane out of Wilmington, haven't seen anything since.

    M1009 vibration

    I know I probably sound like a broken record and I'm sure you're tired of hearing it. I also know that replacing the leaf springs is not a quick and simple task like changing tires, but may I suggest installing a helper spring? It is fairly easy to do and reasonably inexpensive. Now if it is...

    Gap between window and cab

    along with the bottle jack and wood, I have found that these light duty ratcheting load locks or cargo locks work well for getting the dents out of a hard top. For as cheap as they are, it helps to have 2 or 3 to even out the load so you don't have to bang it out with a hammer or mallet. I...

    Th400 transmission shifting late/hard..?

    It may be the vacuum pump, that thing that in the place where a distributor should go on the back of the engine. There is a vacuum port on the injector pump , should be 2 ports with a vacuum line for each, check to see if you have vacuum on the hose that is coming from the pump, the other goes...

    M1009 vibration

    My money is still on the leaf springs. You stated that the driveline was totally rebuilt, I "assume" the leafs are factory. If you have a GoPro with a vehicle suction cup mount and fell okay about it, mount the GoPro to the fender so that you can see the wheel in motion as you're driving. Do...

    What to do with a rusty CUCV...

    Amy, your too far away for me, but it may be of help for others that are closer, can you post some pics of the extent of the rust and maybe what it has thats good? I mean for someone, it may be worth a couple hundred bucks or more if it has a good tranny, transfer case, engine or other...

    M1009 vibration

    I have the same issue with my M1009, it could be your leaf springs. Check the surface of your tires on the axle that you believe is causing the shaking/vibration. Normal tear wear should be flat even surface on the tire. If you have some feather edging, it most likely is your leaf springs...

    Cucv won't shift from park with ignition on but will if not.

    If it were me, if my truck had issues shifting in the normal fashion and it was more like a combination lock, I would just drop in a bone-yard column with tilt. It will probably be easier to find the right levers if they break and you have they added feature of the tilt wheel. On every square...

    Why not tinted monstaliner on exterior?

    Sorry for the confusion if you read this before I edited the post. Had to re-edit, I guess I really didn't get that you wanted to use the Monster-liner on the exterior and not as a bedliner. You can, I have seen a few trucks, not MV's, around town that have had it done. They don't look bad...

    2015 SoCal Fall Rally

    I'm in. This time I will be a little better prepared and not have to mooch from everyone, or sleep in the cold, ha ha. Any of you lurkers, these are a great bunch to hang out with, don't miss a great time. I will probably head up early Saturday, if I can't swing getting Friday off. Time to...

    Nebulous, M1009

    Mine was the same way, dirt was repelling the rust away. I believe I washed away at least 30 lbs. of dirt that was packed up, in and around everything underneath. Looking good though

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Sounds like you were having what I call a MTD or Monumental Task Day. It's when every simple or relatively easy task becomes 10x harder then it really needs to be, otherwise known as a monumental task. Sorry man! Been there done that, several times.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    After an estimated 20 mile mountain trail ride last weekend, I finally was able to clean off the mud and dirt that was on the truck. After washing it off a bit, I decided to drive her around town to dry her off and to run some errands at the same time. I stopped at the Home Depot to drop off...

    Cucv won't shift from park with ignition on but will if not.

    I agree with cpf240, either that or there is something really messed up within the column.

    M1009 Battery size/make/model

    They should as the group 31 is probably the largest of the automotive type battery. I have 2 CarQuest group 31's in my 1009, fit like they should with no mods to the battery tray or holders, mine are post type, if your are wondering. Now if someone swapped out the battery tray for a civi type...
